5 th Bi-Annual Border to Border Conference Performance Measures at Commercial Ports of Entry Juan Carlos Villa
2
Agenda Land border crossing operations Land border performance measures Challenges/Opportunities Next Steps
3
Land Border Crossing Operations Surface trade grew from $97 billion to more than $400 billion since NAFTA started. More than $30 billion dollars of trade traffic cross the border on a monthly basis Surface Trade between U.S. and Mexico
4
Land Border Crossing Operations Crossings grew from 3 to more than 3.5 million between 2000 and 2013. Average annual growth higher than GDP growth
5
Land Border Crossing Operations Three potential inspection points Multiple stakeholders: 2 countries Public and Private Federal, state, local All need to be coordinated US Bound Commercial Vehicle Crossing
6
US-Mexico Commercial Vehicle Crossing Land Border Crossing Operations
7
Poor travel time reliability at land border crossings Negative Impacts Supply chain performance Inventory costs Vehicle Emissions Regional economic impacts Land Border Crossing Operations
8
Land Border Performance Measures Northbound commercial vehicle travel time measurements Wait times Crossing times Real time Archived data Delays – Annual hours of delay per crossing Planning Time Index (reliability) – ratio of 95 th percentile travel time to the uncongested travel time

US Bound Truck Wait Time Trends Texas A&M Transportation Institute Land Border Performance Measures
11
US Bound Truck Wait Time Trends 2012 2013 Percentage of Days (In Six Months) Trucks Experienced Low/Medium/ High Wait Times Land Border Performance Measures
12
Freight Fluidity Transport Canada’s “fluidity indicator” Evaluate the performance of trade corridors and multi-modal supply chains. Measures total transit time and travel time reliability of goods along defined supply chains. Land Border Performance Measures
13
Border Freight Fluidity How “fluid” the supply chains at international border crossings are operating in terms of mobility and reliability. Land Border Performance Measures Two performance components: 1.Mobility and reliability measures: o Delay o Extent/duration/intensity of congestion o Cost of wasted fuel o Cost of time o Economic impacts
14
Border Freight Fluidity 2. How much freight is moved? o Truck volumes by time of day Empty Loaded FAST Non-FAST o Weight o Value (by commodity type) Land Border Performance Measures
15
Challenges Capture additional information to supplement current measures: Volumes by empty, loaded, FAST, Non-FAST Commodity (inside the box) Annual Congestion Cost – value of truck operating costs plus wasted fuel Complement measures to include the whole supply chain
16
Opportunities Take advantage of emerging technologies GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi Develop additional applications with input from private and public sector stakeholders Annual Congestion Cost – value of truck operating costs plus wasted fuel Emissions Provide information for border crossing operations to carriers, shippers, federal and state agencies
